Christmas 2011

Paul and I spent 2 hours putting together all of Lilly's stuff from Santa on Christmas Eve.  Next year, we will start much earlier than the night before the bearded man comes to the house!

The Loot

Lilly seeing everything Christmas morning

Muno and Fufah went with us to Gigi and PawPaw's. This is the three of them in her car seat.

The car went with us too!

Twas the Night Before Christmas...

We had a great, well Lilly had a fantastic, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.  Here are the highlights in pictures.

Wild Weekend

We had an interesting weekend!  It was busy, busy, busy. 
We started out with Lilly turning 19 months on Friday.  I will post later on her.
Saturday morning we went to Budafest in the freezing cold!  It was fun but Lilly is really not a fan of sirens.  Luckily for us there were plenty of "neighs" aka Horses, mininature horses and llamas, that she still had a good time. 
After that we went and looked at a house for the third time and finally made an offer.
Sunday we nailed down a name for baby girl - Dela.  No middle name yet. 
Sunday night we were the proud owners of a new house.  Actually I guess right now we own two houses (6 toilets).  Yikes!  Anyone know a good maid?

We're Having a Baby, It's a

                              GIRL!

New Name, New Layout

When I created this blog it was for the sole purpose of watching Lilly grow.  From my belly to the world, we have captured as much as we could to serve as a sort of baby book.  We hope she will look back on this and watch herself grow into a beautiful girl, and maybe a wife and mother someday.
When we became pregnant again I thought about the blog.  I pondered running two blogs, creating a whole new "family" blog or keeping this blog and adding the life story of our newest addition.  I have decided with the latter and just creating a new blog title.  I hope you like this new layout and even though it will not always just be about Lilly, it will still be all about our pad!
So please be patient with us as we design and redesign, name and name again until we finally get it right.
